The Adoration of the Magi, c. 1501-1503. Creator: Albrecht Dürer (German, 1471-1528)
The Adoration of the Magi, c. 1501-1503. These eight woodcuts (1959.99.8-15) progress from Gabriels announcement to Mary that she would bear the Son of God, to the events of her early motherhood and beyond. This included the joy of sharing her pregnancy with her cousin Elizabeth, Jesuss birth, and the subsequent arrival of the magi. After Jesuss circumcision and presentation at the temple the Holy Family fled to Egypt to avoid Herod and stayed there for several years. The seemingly out of place last scene shows a glimpse of their daily life in Egypt as Joseph continues his carpentry and Mary spins wool. The Holy Family is surrounded by angels and helpful putti and are blessed by God the Father and the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove overhead

The Adoration of the Magi, c. 1501-1503
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodcut print by Albrecht Dürer that tells the story of the Holy Family's journey from Gabriel's announcement to Mary, all the way through their time in Egypt. This series of eight woodcuts beautifully captures various significant moments in their lives. Starting with Mary's miraculous pregnancy and her joyful encounter with her cousin Elizabeth, we witness Jesus' birth and the arrival of the magi. The scene then shifts to Jesus' circumcision and presentation at the temple before they are forced to flee to Egypt to escape Herod's wrath. In an unexpected twist, Dürer includes a glimpse into their daily life in Egypt. Joseph can be seen diligently working on his carpentry while Mary spins wool. Surrounding them are angels and helpful putti, symbolizing divine protection and guidance throughout their journey. The presence of God the Father blessing them from above, along with the Holy Spirit represented as a dove, further emphasizes their sacred mission and divine favor. Dürer's masterful use of woodcut technique brings this narrative alive with intricate details and expressive figures. Through this print, viewers are transported back in time to witness these pivotal events in Christian history. Displayed at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this artwork stands as a testament to Dürer's skill as well as its enduring significance within German Renaissance art.
